Default painted gourd dragon

HI
This is my first half decent wood burning attempt ( or in this case gourd burning attempt ) and I'm actually fairly happy with how its comming along. I painted it with thined down acrylics (but I'm not done painting yet). I will try to post more pictures when it's done but I'm realy bad at getting pictures taken and posted.

Great burning and painting really love the way you have incorperated the tail all the way up around the gourd. Seems I have seen that dragon somewhere.

Silas, That tail wrap is a wonderfully creative way of uniting the dragon and the gourd. Nicely done! Can't wait to see what you come up with next.

Susan

Oh - Love the color!

Thumbs Up Hi Silas: I agree with the rest of the gang very imaginative and excellent use of design on a gourd. Don't forget to show us the final on your dragon gourd.
I like to burn and paint on gourds too, and I'm just about finished with a Native American type gourd bowl.
